CHILDLESS.

I sit in the golden giimmer
OF the rising moOn-alone,
And think Of the shining head that lies
Under carven stone
The sunny head Of the little one
That lay on this heart Of mine,
Tonight in the hush Of dreamless sleep,
Is piIlowed, oh Earth, on thine
The wasted moonlight falling
Ghostly, and wan, and chill,
Broods like 4 dream on the low, green roof
OF the city under the hill;
Stately, and cold and solemn,
It's marble columns rise,
And some, TO the feet that have entered in,
Are the gates Of Paradise.
Oh, mothers, that clasp your .darlings close
While the happy tear-drops. start
That feel the thrill Of the murmuring lips
AT the fountains of the heart
Think, think Of the awful stiffness
In the empty house tonight,
Where the patter Of little feet willie come
No more with the morning light.

BiIl Sye Tackles the Clam.


Probably the American clam is less
fully understood than anys'.other feature
of our boasted civilization, writes Bill
Nye in the New York Worid. He Is
either greatly overestimated on account
Of his naturally taciturn manner and re-
serve, or else he is regarded as an intel
lectual dwarf because he never tries to
shine in society.
CLANS are of two elasses-viz., the lit
tie neck clans and the other clans.
One of the peculiarities Of the New
York clam is that he has no vitativeness,
as the phrenologists call it. The pale
blush growth in the middle of the clam
Is not vitativeness or love Of life, for he
does not care to live. Neither does he
care whether anybody else lives or Mt.

ular man in a white apron a short time
ago, having at that time a very erroneous
idea about clans in the abstract or in the
she'll. Having been accustomed to the
antique or canned clam which We used to
get bv bull team in an incredibly short
time from Leavenworth and other posts
where the lamd-locked or malleable clam
Is found, knew little of the true Man
hatton clam. only knew that he cared
little for life, but died easily. l had
heard that the male clam would turn
when trodden upon, but | regarded him
as generally undemonstrative and in IA
vor of arbitration.
was misled also by the calm and IN
rufied demeanor Of the Eastern clam, so
I ate those twelve pachyderms hurriedly
in order to catch a car, fearing that my
seat in the City Hall Park would be Ia
ken by some one else.
/ In less than half an hour, if l had read
an advertisement in the paper offering a
reward for the return Of those clans, ]
would have hunted up the owner and
said to him: "Sir, DO not wish to wrong
any man. Here are your clans"
This feeling grew on me till l went to

A NAMELESS CASE.

Nv case has been very curious one for about
thirteen years At intervals OF about one week
I would be attacked with spells Of severe and
nost excruciating pain, always commencing
in the region Of my kidneys The pain would
then 90 upwards and affect my body and head,
and seemed 10 penetrate my very eye-balls,
creating the most intense suffering, lasting
about eight hours each spell
I resorted 70 all kinds Of medicine without
benefit. Several doctors treated my case, but
none gave relief. finally used B. B. B. as an
main and suffering vanished after using three
doses. To the present time l have used three
bottles. and not pain has ever returned l
DO not know what was the matter, neither
could my physician name the complaint. The
B. B. B. acted finely and powerfully upon my
kidneys; my appetite has neen splendid and
my constitution built up rapidly.

Natural Gas for Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 29.-Twenty-
five miles from this place, down the
river and upon the Indiana side, the
Union Gas Company of Louisville has
struck magnificent flow of natural
gas, at a depth of 400 feet. 1t has
been known for years that gas
existed in small quantities in the re-
gicn mentioned, the flow from one
we'll on the Kentucky side having
been utilized by the salt works Of
Mr.. c. p. Morgan for five years
Other companies have been boring
for several years past on the Ken
lucky side in hopes of finding pow
erful enough flow to pipe it to Louis
villo, but without success. Major
William j. Davis. geologist of the
Union Company aud gentleman of
ability and high standing in
Louisville, stated that according
to his calculation the flow of
gas amounts to at least 200 cubic feet
per second, which would amount to
about 100000 cubic feet per day. Of
course my estimates are not precise,
he said, but l feel assured that the
flow is not less than 100000 cubic
feet daily. The greatest flow of natu-
raj gas in the country from the Harg
